Lead by example, by Haripada dasa
Western educators say: "Do not follow me; follow my words "; or, put another way: "Do not do what I do, but what I say." The life of Srila Prabhupada refutes this principle, since he applied in his own life all the instructions of his books and was a living example of them. There is not a single instruction in his books that he has not followed personally and, therefore, there is no disparity between his writings and his life; between his actions and his words. Srila Prabhupada taught us that a true spiritual master is one who preaches with his personal example, once Sanatana Goswami told Haridasa Thakura that you are the perfect devotee of God or Krishna, some preach but not practice and some practice but not Preach, but you practice everything you preach, I share a beautiful verse from The Bhagavad Gita, 3, 21, there it says that ordinary men follow in the footsteps of a great man, whatever action he performs. And whatever the patterns he establishes through exemplary acts, the whole world follows them, and in the meaning Srila Prabhupada says that the generality of the people always requires a leader who can teach him through his behavior in practice. A leader can not teach people to stop smoking, if he smokes himself.
Srila Prabhupada always said that what people like the most is that they cheat and suffer, and he also said that one of the great impediments to the expansion of Krishna consciousness is the large number of deceivers that there are, and how the people It is so lazy to make the spiritual awakening take advantage and tell the people you give me 30 euros and I will give you a mantra and in six months you will be God, and the people are so foolish that they believe it. That is why this society is deceiving and deceived. The words convince, but the example drags. In the Jaiva dharma it is said that if someone gives religious advice without practicing it himself, this becomes a source of evil for the world.
Two thoughts to meditate:
1- Give good advice to a wise person and he will thank you and give good advice to a foolish person and he will be angry.
2- If you have nectar in your heart you will never give poison and if you have poison in your heart you will never give nectar.
